I can't say enough in praise of these wonderful Royal School of Needlework Essential Stitch Guides books. I have been waiting for this one for some months now. Bead Embroidery is not what you think of as *embroidery*. The cover shows a needlepoint piece stitched using beads & varied threads. The RSN, in the UK often refer to needlepoint as Canvas Embroidery. Everything in this book is adaptable to both. This is a "soup to nuts" guide, beginning with a short history of Bead Embroidery. It take...
I have been asked about books about making Beaded Flowers. The subtitle to Beads in Bloom is *The Art of Making French Beaded Flowers* A Beadwork How-To Book. To quote from the back cover: "Beaded Flowers, with their delicacy, sparkle and voltage charm, are so right for today." And to edit and paraphrase " providing all the information you need to make spectacular French Beaded Flowers with wire and beads. With easy to follow, step-by-step instructions, diagrams, advice on tools and supplies...
Ann Benson is a familiar name, so I looked up all her books. She has 12 books currently in publication, all concern beading. She wrote about beading for Beginners, 2 Hour Bead Projects, Bead Crochet, Tapestry Bead Crochet, a Pattern Companion for Beading, Beading Basics, Designer Beadwork, Beaded Crochet Designs, The New Beadweaving, Ann Benson's Beadwear and more. And this wonderful book, BeadPoint: Beautiful Bead Stitching on Canvas. This book is specifically about beading on needlepoint can...
This excellent book on Bead Embroidery, published in 2001 is now out-of-print but I found this new copy. Jane David is the author or several other books on beadwork including Decorative Wirework and A Beaders Reference.
The book teaches you 215 embroidery stitches, not all of them are suitable for needlepoint canvas however most of them are. The illustrations of each stitch are shown on open weave canvas, like needlepoint canvas.
Each stitch has a photograph and an illustration, The addi...
This is a new book from the excellent Milner Craft Series of books. With this title and the subtitle of
Silks, Stitches, Beads and Cords I think it will be in many categories. Quoting from the back cover
"An exciting collection of bright and beautiful collaged and embroidered pieces, Effie Mitrofanis shares with readers what can happen when a sense of playfulness is allowed to combine with creativity".
"The elements that tie this book together are beautifully coloured silkd, patterns of e...
Both Robin Atkins & Amy C. Clark are well-known names in the world of beading & fiber embellishment. To quote (and paraphrase a bit) the back cover "Beaded Embellishment is an unparalleled resource for taking beading to higher levels. Beaders, quilters & fiber artists will find invaluable technique & inspiration here." From reading that I thought that maybe this book was not for novice beaders as well as experienced but in skimming through the book, I see that it is indeed complete and for al...
Country Bumpkin Publications has published, over the last few years, a very good and useful series of needlepoint & needlework books in their A to Z series. This is the 13th book in the series. Originally published in 2006, this is the latest edition re-printed in 2011 in Australia. As with all the books in the A_Z series, this is an easy to use book with 30 projects. The chapters are: Beads Other Materials Tools & Equipment Stitches & Techniques with a number of sub-categories Designs Edgin...
When I first saw this book I thought "what is it?". but the cover was gorgeous so I ordered it for NewNeedlepoint.com. I know very little about the books I buy to sell here most of the time.
I gave this book as a present to a header friend of mine and she loved it. her "review" of it is that it is an amazing books with color & color combination ideas as well as some great design ideas.> The idea here is interesting and the beading examples are, without doubt, the best I have ever seen (acco...
This book took me by surprise. it was not what I expected it to be. Or it was what I expected and more. The subtitle is: 20 Glorious Projects For Beading On Canvas. The back cover says the usual things. "Clear informative instructions for each of the 20 projects" "Full color stitch-by-stitch charts" "Comprehensive reference section describing all the different techniques and materials involved" Here's where it gets interesting " Specially commissioned color photographs plus photographs of the...
The cover picture for this book is wonderful, a bouquet of 14 very fine beaded flowers. The subtitle is; Creating Flowers with Beads & Threads. Quoting from the back cover , edited and paraphrased. " Making Flowers with tiny glass beads and thread, weaving these elements together with off-loom stitches to make 3 dimensional flowers, leaves, and garden creatures." More from the back cover "Create with a variety of stitches including brick, peyote, netting, herringbone & right-angle weave. Beau...
It is important to remember, when seeing the titles of so many of these books that Embroidery and Needlepoint are right next to each other. Most of the techniques and ideas for Embroidery work very well for Needlepoint and the reversed.
If you are stitching on canvas or fabric , it does not make that much difference.
Quoting from the dust jacket flap
"Angela Thompson's book looks first at the origin of beads of all types, including not only glass, clay and shell beads but also pearls...
This is a new edition of Ann Benson's wonderful book, Beadweaving. First published in 2004. I don't know how much revised the book is but any book on Beadwork by Ann Benson is a good book.
She is also the author of Beadpoint, Beadweaving for the First Time for beginners and Classic Beadweaving (that I don't YET list here).
Quoting (and paraphrasing) from the inside dust jacket flap"Surface Beading is easy, versatile and holds it's shape without elaborate finishing. The tools you'll need include...
